| Description | Letter from Nathaniel Ashbrooke and Jonathan Whitley to Hugh Starkey, Esq. Mayor, petitioning for a grant (if not in fee farm) for 3 lives and 21 years of a small piece of ground with some part of a house built upon it in Boughton, which William Quick (?) gave for a debt he owed, stating the family had had it for above 80 years at 12d. per year and, wrongly, that it was a fee farm. The writer disposed of it to Nathaniel Ashbrooke. (on dorse) Note by Nathaniel Ashbrooke that he promises to pay to Jonathan Whitley or his order the full agreement for the ground and goods thereon. |
